For those getting into this field young. My best advice that i thank the senior captain that told me this is max out your 401k and then some if you can in your early years..

We didn't always have a 401K to "max out".

Is there a way to see how many target lineholders there are in a different domicile? Or to see where I would fall on the targeted lineholders list?

I didn’t hear anything interesting in the call. Some cryptic talk about 2022. Spending 30 million on reliability issues on the 200/700 (aka 550?). Leasing planes to TSH.
Continuing talks with mrj.

Doesn't sound like we want to fly 550’s more “let someone else do it will lease them the aircraft”. We own 1/3 our fleet outright. All debt is in aircraft and the debt expires with the flying contracts so no risk, 200’s are in high demand we keep adding more. They will be around atleast 8 years maybe more..
Hint at new aircraft order. Lots of d XJT assets to sell/lease.buying more engines to lease to Delta. We still have 12 more CRJ’s coming and about 16 ERJ’s next year.

That was my take..

Several investors asked about the 550 in the call-in session.
Sounded like they're not sold on the 550 or its economics. Just looking at its numbers I don't see how you fly it farther than 1 hour with :45 res and :15 contingency. Anymore fuel and your bumping pax, no bueno.

To keep operating cost low. They lower the max TO weight by 10k lbs... not sure what the max landing weight went down to. But it really pitches the fuel...
